Being selfish in a crowd. For example:
 “Getting off the train before others can get on”

Yes, I’ve heard of “wheels”. But when saymwah mentioned 185lb being “a wheel and a quarter”, I (not being from the US) assumed they were suggesting that it was “1.25 wheels”. Based on that a “wheel” would be 56lb. This was variation that I wasn’t familiar with, and I said so.  

Another good all-around shoe for barbell work is a wrestling shoe. These have good grip, a tight lacing pattern, and a nice flat sole (assuming you don’t have ankle mobility issues that mean you require a heel to squat).

never heard a 45 called a wheel? a 25 a quarter? 10 a dime?

I haven’t heard of that one either. In powerlifting, you often hear people talk about “plates” (being a 45 (or 20kg) on each side). The 185lb in the post would be referred to as “a plate and a half”.
So someone squatting ‘two plates’ is squatting 225lb/100kg. And a ‘four plate’ deadlift is 405lb/180kg.
Given this…

But it can’t be a general question. You’ve gotta be really pacific.

This is not particularly uncommon. In the same way that people can be left- or right-handed based on which hand they prefer to use, people are also left- or right-eyed. And they’re not always the same side.
I’m like you, right-handed and left-eyed. I’d hazard a guess that when you play pool/snooker, you play right…

If your goal is to increase the weight you can squat, then you’ve got to train like you’re competing in a sport where the goal is to “increase the weight you can squat”. That’s powerlifting. There are heaps of videos out there for how to execute a powerlifting squat: it’s (usually) low-bar (the bar is on your…

This is a bit of a surprise to me. I’ve been a happy PIA user for the past few years, and recently signed up to another three-year plan with the promo. I never had the issue you mentioned in point 1.  And as for point 2, the closest I’ve seen to something like that is occasionally I get put through a captcha based on…

‘Lazy’ was definitely a consideration! But for me it meant switching from a $3.40/month plan to a $2.50/month one. It’ll probably take me a combined total of 20 minutes to switch all my devices and apps over to the new account.  I figured that was worth it.

This worked for me, too.  I only had a couple of weeks left on my annual subscription, so I’ve cancelled that and gone for the new 3-year plan.

I’m a little concerned by the apparent lean on the monitors in Eric’s photo.  Is that just a trick of the camera, or an issue with the mount? Or is this on a standing-desk, and Eric’s got one leg longer than the other?

For what it’s worth, deadlifts have done wonders for reducing my back pain. It was just a matter of starting really light, and slowly working my way up to heavy weights. Technique can be very tricky - people can have very different torso:femur length ratios, so setups/techniques that work for one person can feel super…

That’s why you use something like ‘Dark Reader’:

That being said, make sure you’re clear on what you’re asking for. I’ve had plenty of people order ‘medium-rare’, then send back their steaks as undercooked because they were pink.

Ha! Reminds me of a place where my wife asked what the wine options were. The answer was “Regular or Large”.

Yikes! I wouldn’t enjoy that. I use ‘The Great Suspender’ for memory management, and ‘Session Buddy’ for tab state saves. I’ve lost all open tabs from Chrome a few times in the past, but ‘Session Buddy’ has always had my back, and can restore tabs even if they’ve been suspended. Not sure whether there’s a session…

There’s a version of this called the “Green Needle”.  It’s exactly the same, but can taste different if you’re expecting it to.

If you’ve only heard “Somebody That I Used to Know” from Gotye, then you’re really missing out.
Start with “Hearts a Mess”, and then go onto the full “Like Drawing Blood” album.
